        I mean, it would be on brand for the Dems. They’ve already forgiven all his war crimes and atrocious presidency.

          Its about creating permission structures for Republicans who don’t recognize their party to defect with their vote.

          You don’t have to condone dude A to let him tell the right audience that dude B is way bad.

                    Saving democracy from a Trump presidency is a shift to the right?

                    Go ahead and end Genocide with your buddy Donnie then, if you want to keep the election pure from dirty Republican votes for a dem candidate.

          Wow fuck all those people! She hugged someone!

          They are so bad! You make such a point! She’s so shitty because of that photo! [BRANDED!]

          Dare we say “mission accomplished” despite the fact that it’s totally off and has nothing to to do with anything? How far off the point is necessary?

          How many photos do you need to keep up the appearance of being so far off?

            Why Do Democrats Keep Embracing George W. Bush?

            Lest we forget, Bush was an incredibly divisive president. He brought the country together for a fleeting moment after 9/11—then promptly frittered away all that goodwill by trusting his stupid gut and going his own way. He won reelection by slandering his war-hero opponent and stoking conservative fears about gay marriage. His line about being “a uniter, not a divider” was a long-standing joke. And his successor—who, for better and often for worse, seemed to genuinely believe in the ideal of national unity—rode a wave of anti-Bush fervor into the White House.

      hope so; harris getting supported by all of the living former (and present) presidents over trump would be quite the feat. some people in the thread need to understand not everything is for them; it’s about appealing to moderates and potential republican voters too.
